Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

The Convention Center

The last time I photographed the convention center, I focused mainly on the side minus the shimmer wall. This is a view as seen from South Dawson street.

Convention Center Construction





Convention Center construction is moving right along. It is shaping up to look very much like airports and other towers I made with Legos as a kid. The giant glass part looks just like the inverted 3 x 4 x 5 windshield that was popular in many Lego sets. The rooftop above it looks exactly like a white 6 x 10 plate, especially with the writing on the insulation. This isn’t an insult, far from it. I find it fascinating, as well as inspiring.
